00:11 (upbeat music)
00:14 I am so excited for this Monday.
00:16 Welcome to Billboard News, I'm Tetris,
00:19 and it's February 26th.
00:20 I got a lot of my faves to discuss,
00:23 including the reason I'm wearing cowboy boots,
00:25 which you can't see.
00:26 But let's just kick things off with the goodies.
00:28 Here's three things you should know today.
00:31 - Beautiful ladies.
00:32 - Thank you so much.
00:34 - What would you give to get inside a car with Rihanna?
00:37 Well that was the experience for some lucky fans in Milan.
00:41 In a viral video, Rihanna let some fans hop in her ride
00:44 for some selfies.
00:45 I mean, Navy may not be getting any new music,
00:48 but that's arguably much better.
00:49 Speaking of fans, we love seeing famous friends
00:52 fangirl over each other.
00:54 - Who's the new song?
00:56 - Hey, gal.
00:57 - So tight.
00:59 - And that's just what Reese Witherspoon did
01:01 to Selena Gomez at the SAG Awards,
01:03 hyping her girl up right after she released
01:05 her new song, "Love On."
01:07 ♪ It's my time, I love on ♪
01:10 ♪ Wait till, wait till ♪
01:11 - Loving on "Love On"?
01:12 I can't even imagine having an Academy Award winner
01:15 tell you they like your music.

01:29 - After sharing the album artwork and a snippet
01:32 from her new album, "Dopamine," her Fifth Harmony sisters
01:35 all jumped in the comments to show her love.
01:37 And this is why I'll always be a harmonizer.
01:40 That kind of sisterhood will stand the test of time,
01:42 and I'll be ready when the reunion comes.
01:45 And if three stories wasn't enough,
01:46 we have another one about one of our favorite rappers.
01:49 Cardi B has been MIA from the female rap game
01:52 and the streets recently,
01:54 but it looks like the "Bodak Yellow" rapper
01:56 is making a comeback.
01:58 If you can think of one signal a musician
02:00 is releasing new music, what would it be?
02:03 Well, Bardi Gang has been looking for their queen,
02:05 and after users asked, "Where is Cardi B?"
02:08 #WhereIsCardi begins a trend.
02:11 And it looks like we have an answer, kinda.
02:13 Cardi B has blacked out all her social media profiles.
02:17 And as we know, that normally means
02:19 an announcement is coming.
02:21 (crowd cheering)
02:25 We saw Cardi perform at TikTok in the mix back in December,
02:28 the same month she strutted in a Hollywood Balenciaga show.
02:32 But it's been pretty quiet.
